Booo

No class at lunch today! There's one tomorrow though. So I think I'm just going to run on the treadmill and do some core work.

Work is dead. I talked to my boss to see if he had anything I could work on, and he didn't. It's the calm before the storm, I realize this. I'm such a pressure worker, I work best with pressing deadlines.

Update: I did 1hr 15 min on the treadmill (walking 10/running 10) then some core work (planks, push-ups, etc...) then took a full shower (normally I don't wash my hair due to lack of time, but it was so sweaty today I couldn't get away with not doing it). Afterwards I was going to reward myself with chicken fingers and fries (one of three options at our quasi-caf today) and then decided to run out and get Subway (hold the cheese please) instead.

I'm getting quite anxious about New Year's Eve day. More to come on that later.

TGIF!

Just in case you were wondering, I went to the gym every day this week!

I didn't eat chocolate two days in a row (going for three today)

I've been eating SO good. Even last night the three of us went to a pub and I took off the top piece of my foccacia sandwich (the bread half) and only half my fries. Ok, so maybe I should have got the salad instead of fries but I was craving them.

We used to eat out so much, and now we hardly ever do. So for a night out I normally go all out but last night I just couldn't eat anymore. And I can always eat more.

Happy to report

That absolutely NO chocolate was consumed yesterday!

Just in case you can't see me, I'm taking a bow.

Quick Muscle Fit Update

The class was awesome! Low impact strength training. We used a body bar, a ball, the mat and a step.

Every movement was slow and careful. The instructor kept warning us about creating momentum, about how we didn't want to do that. I could feel the exact muscle that I was supposed to (often times when starting a new class I wouldn't feel what I was supposed to!). It was fantastic. I didn't realize that the girl who I normally set up beside in my Monday class is actually the instructor for this class.

I'll definitely be making it part of my routine. So it works out well, I can do strength training on Monday and Wednesday (the two classes) and cardio on the remaining three days.

Yum Yum

I bought a box of clementines. That makes me very happy. I also lost 2 lbs this week. That makes me very happy. Even the SNOW we got today made me happy. This is getting a little ridiculous.

I've decided that I will be going to the gym at lunchtime now. I miss my mornings with my men. I was leaving at 6:30 and most days Carson doesn't get up until 6:45-7, so I wasn't seeing him. And I missed it. I also missed having my oatmeal in the mornings. Plus, now with winter here, there will be shovelling that will have to be done in the morning which will add a chunk of time into our morning routine.

I normally just eat lunch at my desk and work, so I figured I'd be better off going to the gym. I'll try it for a week and see what happens.

Tooting my own horn

Toot toot!

For the past 9 workdays, I've gone to the gym every day. My eating hasn't been fabulous (although this past weekend my only treat was a bag of chips I shared with Jeff) but I've been exercising every.single.day. Well, work days that is. So far I've been taking the weekends off. Our weekends are quite busy so I haven't really found the time, but I figure if I eat well and exercise during the week, then my weekends can be a little more relaxed. And so far, it's working out great.

Ummm except for the two Lindor chocolates my husband just gave me before heading out the door for basketball.

Now I'm off to bed!
